This is the 22nd monthly report on violence and other forms of violations on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression since the Anti-Homosexuality Act (AHA) came into force on 30th May 2023.
The report discusses cases in which known or suspected LGBTIQ persons were targeted for violence and violations purely on the basis of their SOGIE as reported in the month of March 2025.

The human rights situation of LGBTI persons is still worrying. The continued implementation of the AHA has greatly facilitated the commission of human rights violations against LGBTI persons which have majorly manifested through arbitrary arrests, discrimination, inhumane and degrading treatment. Violence against suspected LGBTQ persons in Nakivale refugee settlement remains alarmingly high, with very little being done on the part of the authorities to address it.
-
The continued enforcement of the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023, exacerbates the violations being committed against the LGBTI persons in Uganda both by Law enforcement officers and people in their private capacities. It is therefore important that more efforts are concentrated towards the annulment of the AHA. The concentrated cases of violence in Nakivale Refugee settlement are worrying.
